- 1. Field of the Invention
- One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to a screen printing apparatus in which a squeegee is slid on a mask contacting a board to print paste onto the board via pattern holes formed in the mask.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In a screen printing apparatus, in order to prevent the board from being positionally misaligned with a mask, the board is held using vacuum suction. For example, in an electronic component mounting apparatus described in JP-A-2003-224395, suction holes are formed in a member which is allowed to contact the lower surface of a board, the holes are connected with vacuum suction pipes, and a vacuum pressure is supplied to the vacuum suction pipes.
- However, in the configuration where a board is held by vacuum suction, when leakage is caused due to deformation of the board such as warpage, the suction force is largely reduced, and the force of holding the board is weakened, which may cause a printing failure.
- An object of one or more embodiments of the invention is to provide a screen printing apparatus which can suppress a printing failure due to deformation of a board such as warpage.
- In an aspect of the invention, there is provided a screen printing apparatus in which a squeegee is slid on a mask contacting a board to print paste onto the board via pattern holes formed in the mask, the screen printing apparatus including: a box-like member including a top-plate portion in which first suction hole and a second section hole are formed and which is allowed to contact a lower surface of the board; a blower suction pipe which communicates with an internal space of the box-like member, and which extends outside the box-like member; a blower suction source which sucks air through the blower suction pipe to generate a blower suction force in the first suction hole; a vacuum suction pipe which is connected to the second suction hole, and which extends through the internal space of the box-like member to an outside of the box-like member; and a vacuum pressure supplying device which supplies a vacuum pressure to the second suction hole through the vacuum suction pipe.

FIG. 6 is a side view of the screen printing apparatus of the embodiment of the invention. - Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows ascreen printing apparatus 1 of an embodiment of the invention. Thescreen printing apparatus 1 includes amask 2, asqueegee head 3, and a board holding/movingunit 4. A controllingdevice 5 controls operations of components of the screen printing apparatus 1 (SeeFIG. 2 ). - The
mask 2 is held in a horizontal attitude, and paste Pst is supplied to the upper surface of the mask.Pattern holes 2 h corresponding to the electrode arrangement of a board PB are formed in themask 2. Thesqueegee head 3 includes asqueegee 3 b which is raised and lowered by asqueegee lifting cylinder 3 a. Thesqueegee head 3 is driven by ahead moving mechanism 3M to be horizontally moved. - The board holding/moving
unit 4 includes a boardholding mechanism section 4 a which holds the board PB, and amoving mechanism section 4 b which moves the boardholding mechanism section 4 a in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction. The boardholding mechanism section 4 a includes atransport conveyor 11, an under-supportingbox 12, aclamper 13, and asuction mechanism 14. The board PB positioned by thetransport conveyor 11 is supported from the lower side by the upper surface of the under-supportingbox 12. Theclamper 13 clamps the board PB which is supported from the lower side by the under-supportingbox 12, from the lateral side. Thesuction mechanism 14 sucks the board PB which is supported from the lower side by the under-supportingbox 12, to hold the board PB to the upper surface of the under-supportingbox 12. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , the under-supportingbox 12 which serves as an example of a box-like member includes a top-plate portion 12 a of which the upper surface is allowed to contact the lower surface of the board PB, and a supportingsection 12 b which holds the top-plate portion 12 a. The top-plate portion 12 a is attachable to and detachable from the supportingsection 12 b. A plurality offirst suction holes 21, and a plurality ofsecond suction holes 22 are formed in the top-plate portion 12 a. Thefirst suction holes 21 are holes for sucking the board PB and themask 2 by means of a blower. Therefore, at least one of thefirst suction holes 21 is formed at positions opposing the lower surface of the board PB clamped by theclamper 13, and the other of thefirst suction holes 21 is formed at positions opposing cutaway portions K of the board PB (see alsoFIG. 4 ). InFIG. 4 , thefirst suction holes 21 formed at positions opposing the lower surface of the board PB are denoted by thereference numeral 21 a, and thefirst suction holes 21 formed at positions opposing the cutaway portions K of the board PB are denoted by thereference numeral 21 b. By contrast, thesecond suction holes 22 are holes for vacuum sucking the board PB. Therefore, thesecond suction holes 22 are formed at positions which oppose the lower surface of the board PB clamped by theclamper 13 but do not oppose the cutaway portions K of the board PB clamped by the clamper 13 (see alsoFIG. 4 ). - The
suction mechanism 14 includes ablower suction pipe 23, ablower suction source 24, a plurality ofvacuum suction pipes 27, and acontrol valve 28. Referring toFIG. 3 , theblower suction pipe 23 communicates with theinternal space 12S of the under-supportingbox 12, and extends outside the under-supportingbox 12. Theblower suction source 24 is connected to theblower suction pipe 23. Theblower suction source 24 includes amotor 25 which sucks the air through theblower suction pipe 23 to generate a blower suction force in thefirst suction holes 21, and aninverter 26 which changes the frequency of the power source supplied to themotor 25 to change the number of rotations of themotor 25. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , thevacuum suction pipes 27 are connected respectively to thesecond suction holes 22 from the side of the lower surface of the top-plate portion 12 a. Thevacuum suction pipes 27 extend through theinternal space 12S of the under-supportingbox 12 and an opening in the side surface of the under-supporting box 12 (the opening is sealed) to the outside of the under-supportingbox 12. The plurality ofvacuum suction pipes 27 are connected to avacuum source 29. Thecontrol valve 28 is interposed between thevacuum suction pipes 27 and thevacuum source 29. Thecontrol valve 28 is operated by the controllingdevice 5 so as to control the vacuum pressure which is supplied to thevacuum suction pipes 27 from thevacuum source 29. Thecontrol valve 28 serves as an example of a vacuum pressure supplying device which supplies the vacuum pressure to thesecond suction holes 22 through thevacuum suction pipes 27. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , anoperation panel 30 is connected to the controllingdevice 5. As shown inFIG. 5 , for example, an operation screen GM for adjusting (setting and changing) the number of rotations of themotor 25 through theinverter 26 is displayed on theoperation panel 30. When the worker performs an operation of changing the frequency of the power source supplied to theinverter 26, on the operation screen of theoperation panel 30, the number of rotations of themotor 25 is changed, and therefore the suction flow rate (blower flow rate) of the air flowed through thefirst suction holes 21 is changed, and the suction force exerted on the board PB and themask 2 is increased or decreased. In the example shown inFIG. 5 , when a desired frequency value is input into the column W of “BLOWER FREQUENCY” of the operation screen GM through a numerical input button group TN including a numeric keypad, the power source frequency of theinverter 26 is set. - To print the paste Pst onto the board PB by the
screen printing apparatus 1, first, thetransport conveyor 11 transports the board PB and positions it at a predetermined position. Then, the under-supportingbox 12 supports the board PB from the lower side, and theclamper 13 clamps the board PB. - After the board PB is clamped by the
clamper 13, themoving mechanism section 4 b moves the boardholding mechanism section 4 a to cause the board PB to contact themask 2 so that the electrodes of the board PB coincide with thepattern holes 2 h of the mask 2 (the arrow A inFIG. 6 ). When the board PB contacts themask 2, thesuction mechanism 14 operates to suck the board PB and themask 2 via thefirst suction holes 21 by the blower, and vacuum suck the board PB via thesecond suction holes 22. The board PB is vacuum sucked via thesecond suction holes 22, and in addition sucked via thefirst suction holes 21 by the blower. Even in the case where deformation such as warpage occurs in the board PB and a vacuum suction force is insufficiently exerted, therefore, the board PB is firmly held against the upper surface of the under-supportingbox 12. Also themask 2 is sucked via thefirst suction holes 21 by the blower. Even in the case where there is warpage in themask 2, therefore, the warpage is eliminated, and themask 2 closely contacts the board PB. - The lager the number of rotations of the
motor 25, the higher the flow rate of the blower. Therefore, the degree of close contact between themask 2 and the board PB is increased. When the flow rate of the blower is excessively high, however, excessive “bleeding” of the paste Pst which is sucked by the blower to the side of the lower surface of themask 2 via the pattern holes 2 h of themask 2 occurs, and there is a possibility that a printing failure may be caused. Therefore, the worker previously checks the number of rotations of the motor at which a printing failure is caused (the number is referred to as “critical rotation number”), and sets the number of rotations of themotor 25 through the inverter 26 (i.e., sets the frequency of the power source supplied to the motor 25) so that the number of rotations of themotor 25 is not higher than the critical rotation number, whereby a printing failure due to bleeding of the paste Pst can be prevented from occurring. In the embodiment, the setting of the number of rotations of themotor 25 through theinverter 26 can be easily performed via theoperation panel 30, and therefore the operability is excellent. - When the board PB and the
mask 2 are sucked, thesqueegee 3 b is lowered to butt against the upper surface of themask 2. Then, thesqueegee head 3 is moved in the horizontal direction (the arrow B shown inFIG. 6 ) to cause thesqueegee 3 b to be slid on themask 2. Therefore, the paste Pst on themask 2 is scraped by thesqueegee 3 b, and printed onto the board PB via the pattern holes 2 h of themask 2. - After the paste Pst is printed onto the board PB, the moving
mechanism section 4 b lowers the boardholding mechanism section 4 a to separate the board PB from themask 2. When the board PB is separated from themask 2, thesuction mechanism 14 cancels the suction of the board PB and themask 2. Furthermore, theclamper 13 is opened to cancel the clamping of the board PB, and thetransport conveyor 11 transports the board PB to the outside of thescreen printing apparatus 1, thereby completing the screen printing of one board PB. - In the
screen printing apparatus 1 of the embodiment, as described above, the blower suction and the vacuum suction are combinedly used for holding the board PB, and the board PB is sucked by both the vacuum suction and the blower suction. Even in the case where deformation such as warpage occurs in the board PB and a vacuum suction force is insufficiently exerted, therefore, a strong force of holding the board PB can be maintained, and a printing failure due to deformation such as warpage of the board PB can be suppressed from occurring. Even in the case where warpage is formed in themask 2, the warpage is corrected by sucking themask 2 by the blower, and the degree of close contact between themask 2 and the board PB is enhanced. Therefore, also paste printing suitable for high-density mounting can be performed. - In the embodiment, the top-
plate portion 12 a is detachably disposed, and can be replaced with another one. Therefore, any kinds of boards PB can be correspondingly supported from the lower side and held by suction. Instead of the detachable top-plate portion 12 a as described in the embodiment, the under-supportingbox 12 as a whole may be replaceable, which can provide similar effects. - As described above, one or more embodiments of the present invention can provide a screen printing apparatus which can suppresses a printing failure due to deformation of a board such as warpage.
